From Frank Shepke, President & CEO, Lutheran Homes of SC: In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Fifty-eight years ago, a shot rang out that changed the world. It was an assassins’ bullet that silenced the voice of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That shot may have silenced his physical voice, but it didn’t erase his work and his message for the ages.
“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together”.
The power of his message still resonates today with us all. Goodness shall always conquer evil, love shall always conquer hate, and the glory of God is always there for us all who seek our heavenly father and live his word.
So, let’s take a moment today to reflect where we are on this journey, and give thanks for the blessings we have and the work that is left to do. May God bless us all and keep the faith!
